no respect for seal clubbers

[Spider]

As most likely has been posted many times before; I have ZERO respect for the level 45-100 players down at the low level 1.0-3.0; they are destroying the player base and creating an environment where new players that want to play will just leave and not come back.
Disgusting and pathetic; I am uninstalling after a month and wont return and just reaching 3.0.

Okay goodbye then?

Who are you to gate keep what vehicles people want to play? Some people like Interwar and Early world war 2 tanks, but because according to you they've played for a while they arent allowed to play what they like?

What about a level 100 player starting a new nation? Not allowed? Or changing from Air to Naval?

maybe gaijin should make low tier less fun to discourage playing it

Anyone who has played a year after launch has had to get through the seal clubbers. You aren’t special or maybe you are. You don’t find it satisfying when you kill one of these people?

Thank you for letting me know. But since you've uninstalled anyways I see no reason not to play anything I want :)

not all of us play with the objective of getting the biggest, shiniest newest vehicle. Nor do we agree with the incessant grinding being any way to enjoy a game.

some of us are fans of early/mid war vehicles and dont give a s*** about efficient grinding

you see someone there just to increase their score, i see someone who might just be a fan of panzer 4s and consider the 'big cats' to be overhyped

keep your personal conceptions about how i should/should not enjoy this game to yourself

tldr; I have no respect for others telling me how to play a game

EDIT: dont know if hes still around but i remember coming across a player years ago who played nothing but the a20 havoc, he had hundreds if not thousands of matches in that aircraft and not a single match in anything else but the starter aircraft he used to get it. Now that is someone i can respect for enjoying a game on his own terms

its worth mentioning that not everyone at that BR is "seal clubbing". im in the 50s and i regularly play at 1-3 BR because i only have 3-4 countries actually past that point *shrug*

Wow lots of pending replies.

[SpiralRazor]

Aww....now be a good seal and stand still to be clubbed:)

Some people just want to have fun. The most cinematic plane combats are really in the earlier BRs. I see plenty of Lvl 100 players on various levels with a varying range of skill. The same goes for lower level accounts that show a high degree of plane performance knowledge and tactics. I get that the game can be frustrating at times. Taking a time off is good. Rest a bit and then come back and try again. Study about your planes and the enemy's. Knowing is half of the battle.

I tend to play rank 1 to 2 because I can't stand the idea of not being able to play a vehicle for a week if I lose it. I also prefer arcade mode and find the wait times past rank 3 to be too long.

Well there is the possibility that they've started grinding a new tech tree...

But I more or less agree with the OP, putting new players against experienced vets is just braindead.

It deters new players.
It enables the seal clubbers.
It breaks vehicle balancing.
It messes with the in-game economy.

Ever since I first started playing I've been quite vocal about some form of matchmaking change, whether it be skill based, elo based or something completely new, it just needs something to separate the good from the not so good.

If you really desire to see seasl clubbing go to top tier and watch clueless newbies in their fancy new premium vehicles they are clueless about how to handle opposing those who have the experience of the grind needed to get a regular vehicle there.

you do understand the level has nothing to do with skill in other modes. I might be an ace pilot but suck at ground or naval. Level only means that player has been around for a bit it has nothing to do with their skill at any mode.

This^ not everyone is here for modern warfare vehicles, in contrast to all the ads for war thunder. Plus people start new nations all the time and try out new game modes too.

Not only that but the level is cumillative, you can suck at driving tanks and suck for 6 months straight and reach level 60 or 70 in spite of that.
